You don't have to show us how you used the extenders unless the setup is totally complicated. And it's better to show us the insides so we can give some more extensive advice. :P

And Craaig's right. Sledges suck at stock. Also, when you build heavyweights, wedges give you a lot of advantages.

For a beginner, try to replicate some bots showcased in this forum. After some attempts you'll eventually develop your own style. :D

LRA2, its called the Edit button at the bottom right corner of your posts, try to use it instead of posting many times in a row. Unless its to BUMP a theard with updates or your own showcase.

@LRA2:
-Yes sledges suck in stock, excepted maybe for throwing opponents OOTA on VS (Mjorhmei or whatever it is called), but not worthy in general.
-DSA armor is better for your bots (In Stock ONLY).
-For saving weight make a tight chassis, that fits your components. That works also in IRL bot building.
-One iron spike is not enough for a hammer
-No need to build a weapon at the front and another at the back. Keep all your weapons installed at the front, excepted for sit and spinners but this is NOT a sit and spinner. And horizontal spinners don't work with hammers.
-Also please work more on your paintjobs and your robot names...

A more simple tip is to build to the weight limit. Choose what weight class you want, and build to the maximum amount you can. Try to stay 244-249 for LWs, 389-399 for MWs, and about 785-799 HWs

OK, when looking at the poll then the text just over it I misread "selected" for "retarded"

I'd let you guess the reason why...

because my bots are bad?(i know thats why!)

heres my next bot

the name is DISC-O-INFERNO

1) Build to weight limit
2) I'm not sure what motor youre using on the disc, but it should be a hpz.
3) What the

is going on with the casters in the middle of the bot?

Im pretty sure that DISK-O-INFERNO is a name of a bot that competed in RW in real life. You should work on more origonal names really.

You could also make your chassis smaller, then it can be invertable. Plus, its overpowered. One black batt can power four HPZ's.

You really should listen to people if you want to make great bots.

@craaig: the castors were raised up to fill some of the space

That is all.

Now the kid's gonna fill up his next bot with ballasts...

40757 · « **Reply #53 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:16:50 PM »

Fill it with things that will help, not take space

have you looked at the beetlebros site yet?

life robot arena2 · « **Reply #55 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:50:53 PM »

now naryar did you expect THIS!?

THIS IS smash of doom

40757 · « **Reply #56 on:** May 29, 2009, 05:08:11 PM »

Cmon dude, I'm really trying to help you out here. Don't post another bot until you've at least attempted the Beginner Section.

I hope 407507 will actually get him to build better robots...

...because there is no improvement in that showcase since 6 pages.
